As a teacher of adult Spanish, I am always looking for good instructional books, and I am frustrated at the lack of quality, comprehensive, adult learning books. Spanish Now 1 was pretty darn good, with reading sections, easy, comprehensive grammar, and nice excercizes. But, suddenly in Spanish Now 2, they run through all the tenses, with very few excercizes, no stories to read in class. My students need to learn each tense in time, so they can practice and master it,not be confused by the rush. While I'm sure this is a good book for those wanting to review grammar, who already know it, as a learning book, it's just too fast, and not helpful as a teaching tool. Thanks, but no thanks. lisa
